US President Joe Biden has ordered all American troops to stay in Afghanistan until every American is evacuated, even if that means going beyond his August 31 deadline.
The pledge came following the departure of over 5,000 people from Kabul’s airport and the Taliban kept some Afghans from reaching the airfield.
Meanwhile in the city of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Taliban fighters opened fire at protesters who tried to install Afghanistan’s national flag at a square in the city, killing at least three and wounding dozens more.
